This recipe calls for a fair bit of garlic. We are big fans of garlic as you may notice from the fact that most of our recipes call for garlic and that a lot of them even have the word “garlic” in the title! If you aren’t a fan, just reduce the amount the recipe calls for or eliminate it altogether. Personally, I think it tastes best with this amount, but you be the judge.

Apple Maple Chicken Dump Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 3-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 8-10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 12 1/2 oz. can frozen apple juice concentrate
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine (you can use alcohol-free if you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. pepper

Assembly instructions:

  1. To put together this freezer meal, place chicken pieces in a large resealable bag. Dump all the rest of the ingredients in the bag. Squish it to mix everything together.
  2. Remove the excess air, seal, and freeze.

  2. Place the chicken and sauce in a covered casserole dish. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for one hour, uncover during the last 10 minutes.

Crock-pot instructions:

  1. Place thawed chicken and sauce into the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours.

Serve the chicken with side dishes such as rice, potatoes, vegetables, or a salad. We ate ours with roasted root vegetables (yum!) and cabbage.

Note about the apple juice concentrate: it has become more difficult to find the frozen apple juice concentrate. You can substitute white grape concentrate or applesauce.
